MEINLByzance Brilliant Polyphonic Crash Cymbal - 20 in.
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
MEINL’s Byzance Brilliant Polyphonic Crash pairs a thin edge with a lathed body and large raw bell in hand-hammered B20 bronze. Its edge is designed for quick opening, the lathed surface supports balanced stick definition, and the raw bell supplies immediate presence when an accent needs to speak directly. A fully lathed and buffed brilliant finish smooths sharper high frequencies, helping the cymbal retain its core character as playing dynamics change.
Strong match
Who this is for
